About Us

The Oklahoma Community Land Consortium is an independent, not-for-profit corporation that is legally chartered in the state Oklahoma. Like most CLTs the OCLC targets its activities and resources toward charitable activities like providing housing for low-income people, combating community deterioration, and lessening the burdens of government.

Currently there are about 225 community land trusts in the United States. The model was pioneered by black farmers in the South and spread across the country as communities realized its potential for preserving access to land over many generations.
